Problem
Ryan has been with the company for two years, graduating with a Master's in Marketing. This year he exceeded his quota of work by 50%. Ryan felt totally dissatisfied with his end of year review. He received a pay increase of 12.5%, which was OK, but later he found that his two team-mates each received a 25% pay increase. They had not even completed their quota; neither had done as well as Ryan. What is the likely work motivation outcome that will arise as a result of Ryan's reaction to this situation?
